Computer comes with windows 8 preinstalled. I want to fresh install it on a new ssd. I believe its an OEM Key. How would I go about doing this. Thank you!

You can use Magic Jellybean or Belarc Advisor to extract the key from your current installation.

Your computer may come with recovery software. You can use that to re-install Windows on the SSD.

You can also download a legitimate copy of Windows 8 from here (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only) if you have the product key.

If that link doesn't work, you can use this article to get to the legal download site: http://www.howtogeek.com/186775/how-to-download-windows-7-8-and-8.1-installation-media-legally/
